Dave Broom

Taster

Nose: There's an initial whiff of glue but then the smoke builds. This time it's tar and creosote,liquorice and a lightly fragrant note. Water reveals bay leaves and drying fishing nets.

Palate: Very sweet start,patisserie,melon then it shifts gear and becomes kiln like (dusty) with pipe tobacco.

Finish: Fresh fish oatcakes and after an age, wellies.

Comment: This has an extra dimension and added energy. Beautiful balance.

Score: 8.1
